Celebrating our Wild Ways Well participants

3rd October 2018, by Paul Barclay

Last week the Wild Ways Well Thursday group embarked upon our first ever celebration trip with a sense of trepidation. It was in the aftermath of Storm Ali so there was much checking of the weather reports in the run up as we prepared to set off to the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch Ardinning reserve, just north of Glasgow. Although we…

Summer Days

5th September 2018, by Paul Barclay

After the warm weather in early summer you might be forgiven for thinking autumn had arrived early recently. It’s been a topsy-turvy year weather wise and there’s no doubt that some parts of nature are as confused as I am. Early summer plants like cowslips are coming back into flower over recent weeks and I’m still seeing breeding behaviour going…

Tremendous Trees

25th July 2018, by Paul Barclay

If there’s one thing the recent spell of sunshine has shown me, it’s the value of a good tree. I often have people tell me how lucky I am to have an outdoor job – and of course they’re right – but at the same time it can get pretty sweaty working outside in the heat! I don’t have any…

It’s been a while since we had a Wild Ways Well update, so apologies for the lack of news. Lack of news doesn’t mean lack of activity though – quite the reverse!

Wild Ways Well Blog – A good moan about depression!

14th June 2018, by Paul Barclay

Yes, I am one of these types who do not like being taken for a moaner… I caught myself adding ‘but it’s all good’ or ‘everything will be fine’ after each negative comment I make! Ah yes, because I subconsciously assume that nobody wants to hear some negative comments about my life. Nobody would like to be friend if I…

We had a bit of a surprise with the Open group this week, you may remember that last week we placed a camera trap on a badger sett in the hope of getting some film evidence of these awesome animals sharing our woodlands.
